Bold. Botanical. Brilliantly French.
Suze Gentian Liqueur is a legendary French aperitif that has captivated palates for over a century. First created in 1889 by Fernand Moureaux, it was revolutionary for its time: unlike many aperitifs that relied on wine bases, Suze focused on wild yellow gentian root—a mountain plant prized for its intense bitterness and digestive properties. Distilled and aged in oak, Suze’s unmistakable character is a harmonious blend of earthy bitterness, zesty citrus, and warming spice, all wrapped in a radiant saffron-yellow hue.
Often seen as a bridge between herbal tradition and modern mixology, Suze has become a bartender’s secret weapon and a staple on the shelves of French homes alike. Its visual appeal, storied history, and layered taste make it not just an aperitif, but an icon of French drinking culture.
Why we love it:
Suze is a rare gem: deeply traditional, yet effortlessly modern. Its signature bitterness and bright botanical profile make it an essential for lovers of aperitifs and creative mixology alike.
